"the first inversion of three on your 89-second journey through temple ruins". So, what exactly does this mean? Because it sounds good, but I'm not sure it's true?
Project 2025/Caldera: Rapterra (Launched B&M Wing Coaster)

The blueprints showed the outline of what could be the ruins shown in the beginning of the launch in the official announcement video . If that’s all, they’re not lying. But if the only other theming is the crater in the middle of the queue, I’d be happy.
Anything is better than what we were given to "experience' on Pantheon down the road at BGW...
I truly cannot wait until this view is complete- quite literally putting the X in Jungle X!
All the way past tumbili entrance today
Unreal! Not seeing any net mounts (like the first element has) on that new track, so maybe they're going genuine no-nets for the plaza..? Really hope they don't have that whole area plastered with nets from ground-level.
I feel like there either has to be nets all over OR they are going to close this area off and reroute the Tumbili line? I'll take the nets instead.
Perhaps it's just a perspective issue, but it looks like with wing trains on there they would be getting close to the ground and therefore this area would have to be closed off? Tell me it's perspective.

They have a chance to make some of the coolest netting with the theme though.
the atmosphere that Rapterra will create looks unreal. The interaction with the paths will be awesome. I also really hope this gets TT’s locker set up.
They need to fence off those boxes that cover the footers....it's America....some jackwagon is going to try and climb that and get turned into idiot paste
My first thought when I stood under the track today was how it wasn’t that high above me. Here’s my video from today

It looks like you could reach up and hit the train with your hand. At least if you're an NBA player. I'm a bit worried this section is going to be closed off. Though maybe what they will do is fence off areas within it and not fence off the whole thing? This would also solve the "climbing on the boxes" problem that was noted.
What on earth would be the point of putting that turn over the midway, if they then closed off the midway? That track has to be least 25ft above the paths. Even considering the width of the trains, there will be no clearance issue of someone standing at ground level.
The concern for someone climbing up the diagonal supports, however, is an unfortunately necessary concern. I guess they can just keep those columns greased & baby-oiled to prevent that

Wow! That looks amazing. I can’t tell if it’s the angle, the lens or what but it looks sooo close to the path. I’m planning to go Monday and can’t wait to see it for myself
No way someone is getting hit unless they stack on each others shoulders like something you’d see in a circusWhat on earth would be the point of putting that turn over the midway, if they then closed off the midway?

I like that it looks low and I’m sure it’ll be fun to watch the trains fly by next season
KD's gonna have a max height limit for that midway specifically so I can't walk there
Yeah, I'm sure it's all just a perspective thing. Going to be going in a few weeks. I am really looking forward to seeing this and how far it's gotten by then.
